Bringing a new idea of opening a restaurant serving drinks for middle-aged women, Stillman took over the field of restaurant business though he had no prior experience in the field.

His idea of naming the restaurant came from his days at Bucknell University, where he used to part on Friday.

Alan Stillman has a net worth shining in multi-million figures from his restaurant ownerships as of 2022. 

His business TGI Fridays are flourishing with more than $2 billion in revenue as of a 2021 mentioned on the Franchise Wikipedia.
